Kozarac Fortress
The tower at Kozarac is a surviving part of a larger Ottoman fortress. Prijedor's urban-planning documentation dates its construction to the fortress expansion of 1736 and records protection work in 1961. The same document identifies the fortress on the provisional national-monument list and discusses threats from building within its protected area. The standing tower should not be mistaken for a complete surviving medieval castle.

Architecture & evidence
Rectangular surviving tower
The municipal urban plan photographs a rectangular stone tower with a shallow roof. This study follows that recognizable survivor rather than inventing a complete surrounding fortress.
Arched facade openings
The 2019 photograph records unevenly placed openings and repaired stonework. Openings in this model are cut through the masonry; their sizes and spacing are estimated from the image.
Lower masonry annex
Lower attached masonry is visible beside the tower in the municipal photograph. It is represented as a modest shell; neighboring modern properties are omitted.
Plan your visit
The historic tower stands within a modern settlement. Confirm access locally; a mapped point does not imply that the building interior is open.
